THE Lagos State Government has sealed Carizma Hotel and Luxury Suites located on 10/12 Ishola Lemomu Street, New Oko-Oba, Abule Egba, over noise pollution complaints.
According to media reports, the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) sealed the hotel on December 27, 2023, after the hotel had failed to comply with stipulated guidelines outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding signed during earlier meetings with the agency.
According to a statement, the management of the hotel had agreed to an undertaken it signed with LASEPA in November to cease noisy activities by 10 pm and adhere to approved noise levels, among other terms, but had failed to comply. 
In November, the residential neighbourhood where Carizma Hotel is located made a complaint against the hotel to LASEPA over the noise pollution it generated.
LASEPA then paid a visit to the hotel and discovered that Carizma Hotel and Luxury Suites operated in a residential area, of which it had four external speakers, five micro speakers, three television sets, and a set of jazz. 
The Agency, on November 8, issued the management of the hotel a list of stipulated guidelines to curb noise pollution, including reducing the external speakers to two and stopping all noisy activities at the open bar by 10 pm.
The management of the hotel signed the MoU with LASEPA but failed to comply with the terms, leading the Agency to issue another official warning on November 22, 2023.
The hotel, however, failed to comply with the terms even after the second warning by LASEPA, which led to its closure.
